You can put this solution on YOUR website! Can you please tell me how large of a sample is required so that the margin of error = .04 with a 99% confidence interval?
-----
Margin of error depends on the z associated with the confidence level,
the standard deviation and the sample size.

Your data leaves two variables unknown:
0.04 = 2.5758*s/sqrt(n)
---
The value of "n" depends on the value of "s".
